Kenyans and political leaders remain split over recent remarks by William Ruto, who came under scrutiny after launching a verbal attack on members of the opposition during a heated political exchange.
During the confrontation, the President accused former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa of neglecting the children of his late brother, Michael Kijana Wamalwa.
The issue gained more attention after a viral video surfaced, in which some of Kijana Wamalwa’s children appeared to support the President’s claims. In the clip, one of them alleged that financial struggles forced her to drop out of school in Australia due to lack of fees.
However, political analyst Herman Manyora has raised concerns over the authenticity and timing of the narrative. He questioned whether the video and the claims surrounding it could have been influenced or staged to damage Eugene Wamalwa’s reputation.
Manyora argued that even if parts of the President’s claims may carry some truth, it is important to critically examine the context and possible motives behind the circulating content. He suggested that the situation could have been manipulated to shape public opinion.
The unfolding debate has sparked mixed reactions across the country, with some supporting the President’s stance while others call for caution and deeper scrutiny of the claims being shared online.
